"Mark really took the time to go through all parts of the house and explain everything to me. He even came back to the house when the seller was making repairs and had questions. Mark was great to work with as a first time home buyer and never made me feel he was rushing through anything or keeping to a certain timetable. He also answered my many questions. I trust he would give me honest advice with different options."

Mark provides a great service with a friendly and professional attitude and he tries to teach you what he sees, which is eye-opening."

I would call Inside Out Home Inspections for my next inspection because of the service I received when there was an issue with the house I was selling (and Mark inspected).

I especially liked the information sheet that was included with each category of the inspection. I plan to hang on to the report and use it periodically to remind myself what needs to be done and at what frequency in order to keep my condo in good working order."

-B&J H., Columbia, CT

"My inspection was thorough and Mark took the time to review each area with me and provided me with a good idea of the 'life expectancy' of the mechanicals/roof of the home. This will help me with financial planning for repairs/maintenance.

I was treated as a home buyer, not a 'woman' home buyer. Mark explained the good, the bad and 'needs improvement' in all areas of the home inspection. A previous home inspection (at another property) by Mark revealed more work and $$$ than I was willing to shell out so I did not pursue purchase of that home. More than two years later I wouldn't have any other home inspector than Mark, and this time the house was a 'go'!

The overall experience was thorough, quick, easy and the inspector was friendly and very professional."

-J.L., Coventry, CT

I am a real estate agent who recommends Mark to all my clients seeking referrals - even my own home inspection! I have witnessed many inspections and I have to say Mark is at the top of my list.

“Mark was very accommodating and inspected our house on the precise day we needed. Mark is very thorough, patient and knowledgeable. We felt very comfortable with his advice and experience. His rates are better than most and what you get in return is far greater than any other home inspector I have used in the past. I will definitely use Mark in the future. We loved the detail of the finished report. It was very organized and easy to understand. Mark kept us up to speed with the pending radon report and was available anytime both before and after the inspection. We were emailed the inspection report the next day and the hard copy we received in the mail shortly after."
